Hinson opposed the bill because it included wasteful spending and failed to secure the border. "The omnibus bill includes wasteful spending and fails to secure our border – it is a disservice to hardworking Americans and Iowans. As a Member of the House Appropriations Committee, I was successful in securing investments for Iowa in this legislation and am glad they were included in the final bill. However, House Republicans were shut out of the last-minute negotiations, and the end product did not respect taxpayers or address the dire border crisis. In November, Iowans rejected the Washington way of reckless spending – we must restore fiscal responsibility in Congress and a House Republican majority will do so." - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson Background: Thirteen of Hinson's Community Project Funding requests were included in the omnibus.
